3m, 2f. 90 minutes. Fantasy.
After getting cast as Puck in his high school production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Benji does a deep dive into method acting to prepare for his role. In the enchanted forest of foggy adolescence, he runs into a stranger: the Chinese creator goddess Nüwa.
Does she hold the key to his birthplace as a transracial adoptee? Or will Benji never escape Fairyland?
